'Maybe' Is All I Need
By: Didge Martin 🤘

Do you know what's a game changer? Oh, dear it's something that makes you forget about everything you've dreamed of and crave for something else. It is something that makes your perspective of something be more important than the usual. It is a situation where you can't go wrong.

According to the cast of How I Met Your Mother, when asked if how long would it take to get over an ex, Lily answered "Half the length of the relationship", Marshall said "One Week for every month you've been together" , Robin stated "Exactly 10,000 drinks, however long that takes" then Barney (with all honesty) answered "You can't measure something like this in time; there's a series of steps- from her bed to her front door. Bam! Out of there. Next!" (High-five for that)

Well, what did Ted Mosby say? Of course, he said: "The moment you meet that person that gets you back in the game"

His statement was the only logical and sensible answer one could ever take in. If I were asked the same question, I'd probably answer the same as Ted.

The inevitability of capturing feelings toward a certain person is the most frustrating trait of being a human being.
It is what drives us to undertake multiple series of things which affects our own well-being.
That being said, it is not new to us that whenever getting attached to someone, we tend to measure also how long we could ever forget the idea of them, if our relationship with these people didn't go quite better as planned.
With this, I can get the same sentiment to as how Ted answered the question, because he never cared about measuring the value of the relationship, rather he resorted to scale it into a degree where affection is reset into a better point of view, in short, a definite example of a 'game changer.'


When I review myself and ask "what could be my game changer?"
I tend to leave that question blank, not knowing when to go back for I don't know what to answer.
Sometimes, it doesn't even matter if I must have an answer to that.
Maybe I just wanted to leave it blank for the rest of my life.
My subconscious always tells me that
it cannot be answered because I always chase people who are not even trying to chase me back.

Considering the fact that the way I see these 'people' will always be a perspective of a person running- I will never see what they look like, just only, and always their backs, I can't even have the same course with them, even for a short span of time. I suck at being a 'reacher.'

And did you know I have the idea of almost giving up? But thank God, someone made me get back on the game and this time, I am no longer reaching nor chasing but I am surprisingly keeping up with her.


Don't you hate how series of romantic movie scenes work? Aside from being corny and prevailingly cliche, things happen so damn fast. You see the girl and the boy having the same interests, then the next you'll see them kissing on the bed. Like "how the f*ck did that even happen?" Just how? It's not something believable. It's not a game changer.

I mean, why can't we be spontaneous like that? It's a petty thing to say but a very frustrating aspect to comprehend.

Okay, I just wanted to make a point.

Back to what I'm trying to really say. If such game changer sets the mood right, then nothing can go wrong. I mean, all the doubts, the but ifs, the what ifs, the maybes will be just words and not depriving ideas.

I met a girl.
She's everything I hoped for-
Her eyes
that captivates my heart
Her lips
that I'll always long for
Her laugh
that is a perfect symphony
Her voice
that melts my soul
Her body
that displays such marvelous beauty
Is everything I hoped for.
I met a girl.
And everything about her is perfect.

See, now I'm a cliche- and that word just wears me out. (Never Shout Never, Trouble) but look at how spontaneous I can be.
If these words were coming out from my mouth,
they're no different because they're all genuinely rendered and felt without a doubt.

And the good thing about it is that all of these started from just a 'maybe.'

Maybes are not promising
Maybes are full of doubts
Maybes are risky
Maybes are scary
Maybes are just maybes
But maybe a maybe is all I need.

This girl-
the epitome of an affection that started from a maybe
is fully grasp into something
that I know, with all my heart, that such 'maybe' will be an 'always.'

See, cliches?
How convenient.

But these are on point.

"To My Thirty-two Children" 👶
(An open letter to my parents ❤)
By: DJ Martin 🤘

Let not the title mislead you;
This isn't a hyperbole,
It is a veracious metaphor
It may be a message- an indirect trajectory

To my thirty-two children
Fear not of what you may become
The atrocious vision of this paradigm of ours;
Is yours to perceive not as demoralized and beaten

Let not the title mislead you
This isn't a bluster,
It is a superlative metaphor
It may be a message- an establishment of a boundary

To my dear parents; mom and dad
You need not to worry; these thirty-two children can wait-
I am, and always will be the man you want me to become.
The wonders of these values, I will always accumulate

Let not the title mislead you;
We have established the fact that this give boundaries
Fear not of what may happen
Because these thirty-two children proliferate countless blessings

Trust is the foundation of everything
You have always reminded me of that;
I have given you all of this and it's your time to reciprocate-
Not all of my decisions are subject for reprimand

Let not the title mislead you;
This isn't in the literal sense
It goes beyond a peripheral aspect
Grounded on the most virtuous sentiment

My unborn children are yet to come-
It may take thirty-two years or more,
But let not this premise mislead you;
These are the future hard-earned achievements and triumphs I may receive.

Let not the title mislead you;
I still have a lot of things to prove to you all.
But whatever I have now is enough for me to adhere:
That living in the moment will prosper into something worthwhile.
